Nishita
My name is Nishita Matangi and my mission is to empower individuals and communities by creating platforms and spaces to share their stories. To be empowered, an individual must first be informed. We live in the age of information, to the point that it can be overwhelming. Marginalized communities don't always have information that is culturally competent and understandable, whether that be in respect to language or vernacular. If community specific information is available it is not always accessible. People have the right to access information that has an impact on their overall health and well being.
